Egypt To Set Up Buffer Zone Next To Gaza Strip
2014-10-26
[IsraelTimes] Egypt is preparing to set up a buffer zone of between 1.5 and 3 kilometers with the Gazoo Strip, an Egyptian daily reported Saturday, following a deadly attack in Sinai on Friday that left over 30 Egyptian soldiers dead.

Forces were expected to start clearing the zone of structures and vegetation in the coming days, Al-Youm al-Sabaa reported.
Boy howdy, the tunnel rats are going to be busy...
Army patrols were also set to be increased along the coast from El-Arish, in the northern Sinai peninsula, to the Egyptian border town of Rafah, in an effort to thwart the maritime smuggling of supplies to terrorists.

According to a report in the Egyptian al-Ahram cited by Israel Radio, which quotes an anonymous intelligence official, the perpetrators of the attack Friday infiltrated the peninsula via a tunnel leading from the Gazoo Strip. The same source added that although the Egyptian army destroyed over 1,500 tunnels that ran between Gazoo and Sinai, some have been rebuilt and were being used to smuggle weapons, funds and manpower.

Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said Saturday that the deadly assault on an army checkpoint in the Sinai Peninsula was a "foreign-funded operation."

Roaring in front of cameras on Saturday, el-Sissi said there were foreign powers that wanted to "break the back of Egypt," without elaborating.
*cough* Iran *cough*
He vowed to take drastic measures to uproot the bandidos snuffies and said Egypt was engaged in an "extensive war" that would last a long time.

Since Morsi's ouster, more than 1,400 of his supporters have been killed in a crackdown by the authorities.

 including Morsi and the top leadership of his Moslem Brüderbund, and more than 200 sentenced to death in speedy trials.

Relations between Egypt and Gazoo's rulers Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, an offshoot of the Moslem Brüderbund, soured considerably after the ouster.
I'll say, if a 3 km buffer zone is being created. What will President B.O. and his Smartest Men do about this?
